Book into the VIP lounge at the airport to start your holiday off. Eat & drink much as you like, comfortable lounges & phone charging spots.
Usually cheaper than a meal & drink in one of the restaurants & better than the inflight food if that’s an option on yours.

Get to higher ground (a hill, a building) and take time to just soak in the view of the place you're visiting. Stop. Breathe. Enjoy.

Soap bars, especially when backpacking they save so much space and weight, plus great for getting through airport security!

Tie a ribbon/brightly coloured strap around a handle of your luggage so that it's more easily identified as yours at pickup.

Pre-pack all of your liquids in a clear zipock freezer bag & place on top of your clothes or in an easy access compartment for a speedy transit through security. 🧴💄☺️👍

My top tips for a summer getaway are to pack smart, for sure!
- Pack Light: Avoid checked baggage fees by packing only a carry-on. This also saves time at the airport.
- Multi-Purpose Clothing: Choose clothing items that can be worn in multiple settings or styles.
- Travel-Sized Toiletries: Invest in reusable travel-sized bottles to avoid buying new toiletries each trip.
- Tech Gear: Bring a portable charger, a universal adapter, and download offline maps.

My best hack for a summer getaway is to travel light, which means going somewhere that you don't need too many thick clothes.

Target a country to visit, and before going learn a few useful words and phrases. Especially “please” and “thank you”.

My best hack for summer getaways is to plan it my trip early September when the heat is not as strong as July and August so you can enjoy the weather and the prices go down because there is no families and kids are back to school! Double win!
